Is It, Friendly or Not-So-Friendly? Recess Behavior

Recess is an important time in the lives of school children. It is a time to release energy, get fresh air and sunshine, and engage in social skills with others. For many children, however, recess can be a difficult time. This activity includes fun ways to teach children who struggle to engage appropriately with their peers during recess. Follow this lesson up with support using the recess plan and recess reflection sheet. When not in use, these make a great visual to keep on your wall.

~This interactive activity is a great way to teach children the necessary behaviors to successfully work or play well when in a group. Children are encouraged to think about WHY their behavior makes a difference when in a group, vs. when they are alone. Many different scenario cards are provided to appeal to a wide variety of learners. The activity has a two parts: Working in a Group, and Playing in a Group. Each has 2 sets of cards, one written and one picture to use with older/reader and younger/non reader children. Children build behavior charts representing a variety of helpful and unhelpful behaviors while working or playing in a group. The charts encourage a lot of great discussion. You can also use these cards to role play and the charts make a great visual once they are completed. Laminate and use again and again. Bring out the charts to review when students are experiencing particular problems working or playing in groups. Editable cards provided so that you can individualize as problems come up with your students. Editable sections provide on behavior boards so that you can rename the behavior, if you wish.
